Palm Sunday Prayer

God
of all hopefulness, God of my life
On this holy day of Palms and Passions
and through this the holiest of weeks,
when our Lenten journey finds its completion
through pain
sorrow
despair
illness
losses of all kinds,
through fear
anger
hatred
vitriol
and finger pointing

We come to recognize
the varied ways we work against you, O God,
against your hopes and dreams for creation

About Me

The author Frederick Buechner once defined ‘vocation’ as “the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.” I think I’m living that definition. I’ve spent the last three decades studying, pastoring, teaching and writing about worship, looking for ways to strengthen and deepen our corporate conversations with God. I’m still not sure how I landed up on this journey, and it certainly hasn’t always been easy. But I’ve never been able to escape the conviction that this is where God wants me, and this is the work I need to be doing.
